A guy comes walking up the trail and we start talking. Turns out that we were from the same town in the Midwest. We knew some of the same people. He knew my Dad and was a customer of his business.

He also had some great tips about cool places to visit in Montana. After visiting one of these places I made the decision to move to Montana. Thanks John!
